I find how much someone can want others approval no matter if they're making things up very interesting. This came up because of us looking through our very old discord server and seeing the old host making things up that definitely didn't happen and CANNOT happen because it made others like us more.
They had pretended we could just "will" headmates into existence, similar to a "tulpa", a term we are not and aren't even knowledgeable about. There had been a conversation that brought it up, being someone asking to "go in headspace", and then they pretended that there was a "clone" of them in headspace "temporarily."
While yes this is technically possible, not like this. You can get introjects of real life people, however not on a whim with the intent to do so, and definitely not "temporarily."
We don't even recall anything similar happening, and had figured out it was for acceptance and attention.
Still, that is very interesting. The same way a host pretends to be someone else whenever someone else asks for someone else to front, the more extreme is our old host making up things that absolutely are not plausible just so others don't villainize them, however, all this did was cause more confusion and distrust looking back.
